I have about 4 babies in different containers, that are getting a little air bubble in their stomach, which I can see the little air bubble. After an hour or two it does go away, but some keep getting them. What is causing this? The picture I posted is the only one that has it now and it looks worse than I have seen in any of them. I want to know what I can do to prevent it and help them move the air bubble.
Since this will be asked:
I feed them bbs twice a day, about 12 hours apart.
I wait about an hour or two for all to eat then put them in freshly cleaned and scrubbed containers with the water a little over half full (100% water changes) after the feedings. I have about 20 in each container, the container holds 126.5 fl oz, with some in smaller containers, the smallest and weakest. I use water conditioner and let the water sit 24 hours before I use the water, just in case. I check the water for ammonia each day, and it is always between 0 and .25 (not quite .25, more in between, I use the API test thing, not the strips). But, if it is reading around.25, I add more fresh water til the next feeding, to be sure they are safe. As I can tell, none are showing stress or gasping for air at the top or anything.
